Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from One Stop Market. Aroma is mild cracker, pilsner malts. Appearance is clear pale yellow with greenish tinge, huge sparkle and nice two finger-width foamy white head with nice retention and fair lacing. Taste is as aroma. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, lively carbonation and dry, lightly bitter finish. Overall, very macro-esque. The appearance and palate are better than average but it’s nothing I’d get again.

Undated bottle (probably 2004). It would make sense that the second Magic Hat beer that I like, is hated by most others and rated a lowly 2.16. Haha, oh well. Typical pale lager pour, clear gold, with a good white head. Unlike the Famosa that I had before this, the aroma on this is not vegetal, not skunked and actually quite good. Mineral water, lightly floral hops, good grassiness. Flavor is clean, crisp and lightly biting, with a rather even flavor throughout. Not too watery, not at all relative to the style. Pretty decent stuff. You’ll note I don’t talk too much about the big and various flavors in the beer, as there arent many, but there were also no off-flavors. A bit of honey and grain round it out. A nice little session beer.
